Rev. DR.. Cuthbert's Resignation.
ACxYD FRON THE PASTOR

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
i have always believed that our church, as our
family relations, are matters OF sacred privacy
But as certain misstatements have appeared in
the papers Of the city relating to my late resgna-
ton OF the pastoral charge OF the First Baptist
church OF this city, i beg space In your paper to
correct Them The first statement in The STAR OF
saturday, that impaired shattered health was
the cause OF my resignation, was incorrect, as
through Gods mercy, am in the enjoyment OF
good health The statement in the Post OF this
morning was grossly erroneous TO names and
facts, and one for which i am in no way response
bic. Another statement. in the Republican, OF this
morning, repeated the error In your issue as TO
ll-heaJh-an error which has already OccaSioned
unnecessary sympathy. would only add that
my relations with the church as a bOdy-a church
Il have tried 70 serve for more than seventeen
yearShave been throughout this extended period
marked by more than ordinary Christian courtesy
and affection, 10 which their refusal TO receive
my resignation until rendered the third time Is
sufnc.enI evidence. Very respectfully,
j. Ii. CUTHBERT.
